Right click ME3, show game details. Download from there

Unless you haven't got the deluxe edition, in which case search the store? Not looked myself.

Just had a look at that and its £6.19 to buy 800 points, or £6.19 to buy 1200 surely something is wrong there?

Edit* also to get 1600 its £12 surely its better just to buy 2 lots of 1200..

Ahh thanks for that, just did it, so in total I paid £35 including the DLC, not too bad, installing it all now, ready for unlock at 3pm

Cool hadn't noticed that

Now noticed it's only if you go through the ME2 site as from the social page it doesn't have the 1200 listed.

Alright managed to find an IP by googling.

I searched proxy in windows, then clicked: configure proxy server -> LAN settings -> checked use a proxy server and put in 210.176.171.237 with port 8080.

Origin wouldnt sign in, and plonked me in offline mode, but when I went to unlock ME3 it said Release date check failed: Your release date will be: 05 March 2012, 15:00

Seems to of worked! No extra programs needed.

Cheers for that.

[ryryryan]

Yup, think ill kindle it up for the next 40 mins, then its ME3 all day!

Cheers for that.

No problem, you should then disable it as soon as its unlocked.

Yeah ME2 significantly improved the feel of combat but it did sacrifice quite a bit. Everything was was a close range encounter done in set stages unlike ME1 where it was mostly down to you. The classes felt scaled back and the less said about the massive u-turn on weapons the better though. As for the story...

The thing I'm most scared about really, if scared is the right word, is that ME1 felt more like an RPG than 2, there was a big variety in weapons with different levels of the same weapon.

ME2 comes along and this concept is watered down to make it more like an FPS - suddenly you've got ammo (you can call them thermal clips but let's call a spade a spade) and pretty much just 2 variants of a given weapon.

I'm cautiously hoping that ME3 isn't any more primitive for the console crowd.

edit: Is this thread going to be chock full of spoilers from now on?

 

[ryryryan]

I'm in game! Have fun all!

 

[Jongo]

Damn i get simultaneous usage limit error, i guess its because so many people are using the vpn.

Pretty sure Mass Effect was originally a console only game
